A vehicle battery system includes a battery, storage, and one or more controllers. The storage maintains data defining power outputs for the battery at a plurality of predefined combinations of temperature and state of charge. The one or more controllers repeatedly update the data for some of the plurality based on temperatures and states of charge repeatedly encountered by the vehicle, update the data for other of the plurality based on data from a remote server, and discharge the battery according to the data for the some and other of the plurality.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The battery system of claim 1, wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to update the data responsive to identifying a navigation route and anticipated combinations of temperature and state of charge corresponding to the other of the plurality.
3. The battery system of claim 1, wherein the storage is further configured to maintain second data defining energy storage amounts for the battery at the plurality of predefined combinations of temperature and state of charge.
5. The battery system of claim 1, wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to send the data for the some of the plurality to the remote server.
6. The battery system of claim 1, wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to send the data for the some and other of the plurality to the remote server with an identifier that distinguishes the some from the other of the plurality.
14. The vehicle system of claim 13, wherein the data for the other of the plurality is generated by other vehicles after the other vehicles repeatedly encountered the predefined combinations of temperature and voltage corresponding to the other of the plurality.
15. The vehicle system of claim 13, wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to update the data responsive to identifying a navigation route and anticipated combinations of temperature and voltage corresponding to the other of the plurality.
17. The vehicle system of claim 13, wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to send the data for the some of the plurality to the server.
18. The vehicle battery system of claim 13, wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to send the data for the some and other of the plurality to the server with an identifier that distinguishes the some from the other of the plurality.
